About your business
I'm a garden designer based in Bracknell, Berkshire working throughout Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, London & Surrey.

I am prepared to work anywhere in the World should such an opportunity arise.

I design fabulous gardens for discerning clients who wish to have a garden that reflects their lifestyle aspirations and is as beautiful as the inside of their house.

Gardens range from small courtyards right up to several acres.

My USP is creative flair combined with excellent communication and project management skills. This enables me not only to design great outdoor spaces, but to make sure that the finished product is absolutely top quality.
